1 year post op


Nick is now 1 year post MD. Have to admit, the MD seems like a long long time ago! Here's an update….

- no back issues at all. Full range of movements, good flexibility, no postural issues and definitely no sciatica
- overall fitness and strength pretty much recovered now
- tennis training back at full capacity, being roughly 20 hours a week training plus competing about twice a month
- has started his A levels now. GCSE results went well (6 x A* and 4 x A)
- Nick feeling very happy with decision to have the MD

Nick has continued to see his movement coach each week, and in fact he is really enjoying the work. When he misses his movement work for a few days he says that he can really feel himself stiffening up. He also see his personal trainer twice a week for fitness and strength work. He feels that overall he needs to do a lot of fitness/strength and conditioning work.

He hasn't managed to fully regain his tennis rating or ranking yet - still a lot of catching up to do, but this is normal after such a long period of time off. He is well on his way though, and still very committed to getting there.
